W. D. Surratt Elementary School

The faculty and staff at W.D. Surratt Elementary School are committed to creating a positive school culture. Our school has implemented the Positive Behavior Initiatives Supports (PBIS) systems approach to increase instructional capacity of students that focuses on a proactive approach to behaviors. The students are taught appropriate school behavior and the faculty and staff will reinforce desired behaviors.

PBIS at our campus provides behavioral expectations and systems that are designed to ensure a safe and caring environment for all students and staff. All students will be taught to be RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and SAFE. The students will be taught how these expectations look and sound in all school settings, i.e., in the classroom, hallway, cafeteria, playground, and bathroom. Teachers will spend time teaching and modeling the appropriate behaviors. The faculty and staff will reinforce appropriate behaviors by giving PBIS Reward Points. Students will be able to redeem their points for PBIS activities, events, and incentives. This proactive approach has benefits: less student frustration, less disruptive classroom behavior, improved attendance and achievement, improved student morale, development of students’ social skills and responsible behavior. Most importantly, students will learn to take responsibility for their own behavior.
